As police responded to the scene, Mason crashed an SUV into a police cruiser and seriously injured an officer. Mason tried to escape on foot, but police chased him down.

He was charged with felonious assault for hitting the officer. Aisha Fraser, meanwhile, was dead.

Brutal Beating

It was the second time Mason had brutally attacked her. In 2014, Mason beat his then-wife so severely she needed surgery to reconstruct her face.

According to prosecutors, he punched her 20 times in the face, smashed her head against the dashboard of their SUV, and then threw her out. Their children, ages 4 and 6, were in the back seat.

Police found 2,500 rounds of ammunition, semi-automatic weapons, smoke grenades, a bulletproof vest, and a sword in his home. Mason pleaded guilty to various charges, received a two-year prison sentence, lost his job and his law license.

He was out nine months later and got an administrative job. It was supposed to be a second chance for Mason, but on Nov. 17 Fraser had no chance.
